In openejb 3.0, after initializing the openejb server, can we add a

Any info are welcome. Thanks in advance.
We support rar file deployment so you could use the deploy tool and do
it that way, though I think rar files are sort of a pain and overly
complex.
We've kicked around the idea of allowing the definition of <Resource>
and <Container> in your openejb-jar.xml so that you could essentially
ship/deploy your apps required configuration with your app.
If you don't mind using OpenEJB apis directly, you could create an ejb
that does this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
import org.apache.openejb.assembler.classic.Assembler;
import org.apache.openejb.assembler.classic.ResourceInfo;
import org.apache.openejb.loader.SystemInstance;
import org.apache.openejb.config.sys.Resource;
import org.apache.openejb.config.AdminLocal;
import org.apache.openejb.config.ConfigurationFactory;
import org.apache.openejb.OpenEJBException;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class AdminBean implements AdminLocal {
private static final ConfigurationFactory config = new
ConfigurationFactory();
private static final Assembler assembler =
SystemInstance.get().getComponent(Assembler.class);
public void addDataSource(String id, Class driver, String url,
boolean managed) throws Exception {
try {
Resource resource = new Resource(id, "DataSource");
resource.getProperties().put("JdbcDriver",
driver.getName());
resource.getProperties().put("JdbcUrl", url);
resource.getProperties().put("JtaManaged", managed + "");
assembler.createResource(config.configureService(resource,
ResourceInfo.class));
} catch (OpenEJBException e) {
throw new Exception("Adding DataSource failed.", e);
}
}
}
public interface AdminLocal {
void addDataSource(String id, Class driver, String url, boolean
managed) throws Exception;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, we could cook up a command line tool that you could
drop into an existing OpenEJB 3.0 server.
There might be something we can do to improve our ability to
dynamically create Resources like DataSource for you automatically.
If you're ok giving some info on your use case that'd give us a good
idea which of the many options we might make standard.
